The SNFCC Christmas World comes to life

The festive season is just around the corner! Join us on Sunday, November 29 at 17:30 at the Agora of the Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center (SNFCC) to celebrate the opening of the SNFCC Christmas World. The celebration will feature Greek Sign Language interpretation and Surtitles for D/deaf and Hard of Hearing audiences, provided by liminal.

The Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Center complex is illuminated with festive lights, reflected in its glass facades, the canal in front and the water jets rising from its calm surface to form a curtain of water. Small trees on either side of the fountains are wrapped in golden lights, creating a festive atmosphere across the nighttime landscape.

Hosted by actress Evgenia Samara, the evening kicks off a program filled with light, music, and Christmas experiences for everyone.

Thousands of festive lights brighten the Canal and the 82 plane trees that surround it, while the Light Installations afford Stavros Niarchos Park a new dimension, creating an ambience full of color and imagination. The Fountains in the Canal are synchronized with festive tunes in a captivating spectacle, while the Ice Rink opens its gates for the first skaters of the year.

A night full of music

The musical part of the evening opens with As a Feather, a girl group that combines three voices, piano, and violin, approaching pop hits and Christmas favorites through inventive orchestrations.

The baton is passed to Panoraia Chrysanthopoulou and her six-member band, who are presenting an explosive program that moves between swing, rock ’n’ roll, disco, and contemporary pop.
